There hard to find cos they dont sell them anymore! I brought mine second hand from the dealership and they put them on for me!

There awesome though, shadow chrome is so nice on any colour...

good luck! hope you find some...

deamer2k5 · 9th June 2008, 17:26

Vet_2010 · 9th June 2008, 18:54

Honda don't do the Blades anymore?!!
Surely not another ingenious decision by Honda Management!!

I was thinking the same thing!!! First they discontinue Vivid Blue and now Blades??? I think someone in the sales department needs to do a bit of market research.

Well i brought them for £200 i haggled BIG TIME! yeah i know £200!!! i was lucky!
And yes... they dont do them anymore, your right, they discontinue the stock that people actually want! lol

deamer2k5 · 9th June 2008, 22:59

anyone offer me a very good price for some blades then?

NEEMSTAR · 10th June 2008, 01:00

discontinued blades
lol Honda are having a laugh

ITSRICKSCIVIC · 10th June 2008, 06:26

Iwouldnt mind some blades if anybody knows or has any to sell,as for the groop buy as Honda in their wisdom have stopped selling blades will there be excess stock somewhere? Maybe just Maybe if we could find out who manufactured them perhaps they will do us a deal.

streakybird · 10th June 2008, 09:58

Blades are so much better!!!
Honda made a big mistake by discontinuing them!

Dimplyred · 10th June 2008, 12:19

Perhaps this thread would be better posted in some of the dealer forums on here.

At the risk of being made to look really silly, as far as I am aware 18" Blades are still very much available from Honda. If anybody is interested I can do a set of 4 (rims only) for £532inc VAT.

They're 19" and as far as I was aware Honda recommend you don't increase alloy size by more than 1" on standard for the model and therefore according to Honda they should only go on the Type-R. I don't know how it would affect anything warranty wise if you did, I doubt it would be a big deal.

deamer2k5 · 11th June 2008, 21:05

i must say i do like the altimos as well. has anyone tried to get in touch with any dealerships at all?
